Question
If an oven is turned on by a Shabbat timer and a non-Jew places the baked goods in the oven, is there an issue of pat palter?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If the Jew set the timer, it is considered as if it was turned on by a Jew, and it is permitted.
Some are concerned about power outages and the like [if they are common] and do not rely on this solution in the long term.
